There's not a lot a veteran won't do for his buddies, especially if they're still in the service and the veteran is out. This is particularly helpful for troops who are deployed because their buddy back home knows exactly what they need. And you know what people fighting a war could use more than anything else? A beer.
John "Chickie" Donohue set out to get a few beers to his best Army buddies — while they were fighting in Vietnam. That's one hell of a beer run.

I just hope it wasn't the horse piss Lone Star Beer. LBJ's friends got a good contract for that shit.
ReplyDeleteEven worse it could have been "Pearl". When I lived in TX we called Lone star beer "Panther Piss".
DeleteAll of this talk about a particular beer tasting like horse or panther piss begs the question: How would you know?
DeleteShould have been made into a movie a long time ago.
